Gas-insulated switchgear ELK-04, 145 kV

Modular system with 3150 A, 40 kA

ABB is the pioneer in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) technology with over 50 years of proven technology. With a wide
range of GIS products up to 1200 kV, ABB provides reliable
and eco-efficient solutions for transmission, distribution grids,
power plants and industries.
The ELK-04 is the ideal solution for reliable energy distribution up to a rated voltage of 145 kV, a rated normal current
up to 3150 A and a rated short-circuit current up to 40 kA.
Based on a few building blocks with standardized dimensions,
its space saving and modular design offers a small footprint
and easy operation at high performance ratings. All functional
modules are type tested according to international standards
(IEC/ANSI). The ELK-04 offers a high level of flexibility for
optimizing substation layouts while reducing operating and
maintenance costs.

The ELK-04, 145 kV provides:

Complete three phase encapsulation
Economic and compact layouts for ratings with 145 kV,
3150 A, 40 kA
Three- and single-pole operation
Resistance against earthquakes with high performance level
of 1g
Low environmental impact due to optimized design with
reduced SF6 gas
Smart Grid Enabled control and protection
Low life cycle and maintenance costs
Ideal solutions for hydro power plants and offshore wind
farms
Container solutions with complete bays
Reliable, well-proven technology based on five decades of
experience
